NFL world erupts as Travis Hunter scores first touchdown in breakout Jaguars performance
The NFL world and Buff Nation erupted after Travis Hunter’s first touchdown with the Jaguars, as the No. 2 overall pick finally broke out in London.
After six games, the Colorado star broke his scoring drought for his first touchdown in the NFL. Take a look at the highlight play from London.
Those were just a handful of ways the Seahawks got to Lawrence. On the day overall, the Seahawks pressured Lawrence 26 times, tied for the highest mark in a game by any defense this season. That amounted to pressures on 51 percent of Lawrence’s dropbacks, the 13th-highest mark in a game all year, according to TruMedia.

Jaguars 'expected' to be involved at NFL trade deadline, says NFL insider
The Athletic's NFL insider Dianna Russini emptied her pre-NFL trade deadline notebook, and included was a nugget about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Russini would go on to write that the Jaguars are "expected" to get involved in some trades and that they are looking for a defensive player.
For the Jags, playing in London is old hat, and this game will mark the 11th time they've played at Wembley Stadium in the franchise's history. In those prior instances, Jacksonville has gone 5-5 at the facility, but the team is 7-6 all time in international games. Meanwhile, the Rams are 2-2 in their four international regular-season games.
Add in the fact the Jaguars' near-entire offensive line was on the injury report on a short week, and the Jaguars' line was always in danger. Danger came in the form of a suffocating Seahawks' pass-rush that sacked Trevor Lawrence a career-high seven times despite having amongst the lowest blitz rates of any defense.
Before they joined the Jaguars, coach Liam Coen and general manager James Gladstone worked under Rams coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead.
